Interesting properties can be engineered into these materials by copolymerization. Copolymerization of 2-ethylacrylic acid or MAA with iV-[4-(phe-nylazo)phenyl]methacrylamide, a photosensitive monomer, results in polymers in which the interaction with lipid biolayers can be photoregulated [10, 11]. Thermally reversible polymers can be produced from poly(iV-isopropylacryla-mide), which is a water-soluble polymer at room temperature. The LCST (lower critical solution temperature) of the homopolymer is 32 °C at this temperature a reversible phase separation occurs. This LCST can be adjusted by copolymerization with more or less hydrophilic monomers.
